Bull trap or bull market
Yesterday, my friend messaged me expressing his excitement about the change in the Bitcoin market. He thanked me for convincing him to invest when Bitcoin was around 15K. While he shared his plans for the money he had realized, I cautioned him against getting too excited about the current market conditions because the Bitcoin market is highly volatile and downtrends can happen in time. I advised him to only invest what he can afford to lose.
I'm pleased to see that the recent shift in the Bitcoin market has resulted in substantial gains for my altcoin investments. However, it's important to consider the possibility that this current trend may be a bull trap. While it's difficult to predict market fluctuations, it's crucial to recognize that excitement alone won't prevent a potential downturn in the near future.
Am I wrong to be cautious? Is it the right thing to do recently? Bitcoin price doesn't excite me anymore because we have spent so much time in the Bear market. One of the reasons why I am not moved is because a short-term jump in price doesn't fit into my plans.
Go long and not short.
Investing in crypto for the long term is great for several reasons. Firstly, it promotes stability by helping you stay level-headed and not get carried away by every little instability in the market. Secondly, a long-term approach helps you stay focused on your investment goals and view price increases as a step towards achieving them. This approach can help you avoid being influenced by short-term market fluctuations and keep you on track toward your goals.
Bulltrap are for short-term investors
It's unfortunate that some individuals still base their approach to Crypto on market trends. While I understand that some may engage in daily trading in hopes of rewards, others simply follow Crypto based on its uptrend and do not trade. This means that when the market is down, they are too afraid to buy, fearing that Crypto will plummet to zero. However, when the market is up, these same individuals accumulate Crypto for short-term gains, often taking out only 3-5% of their investment. Unfortunately, this approach often results in financial losses due to liquidity issues, and yet they continue to make the same mistakes season after season in the Crypto market.
The ideal strategy is to invest in cryptocurrencies during a bear market, rather than solely purchasing for short-term gains. By focusing on long-term gains, we can avoid becoming victims of market manipulation and establish stability. We can then enter and exit the market as we please, by setting a long-term goal.
Let us enjoy it while it last
I can't deny that seeing green in the market brings joy to my face. The sense of you being in profit makes us comfortable, and that is why we should just enjoy this feeling till it lasts. If the market should go up from here, we should enjoy the ride because we have sowed our plant during the bear market, but if the market should go down, it's not the end of the world. We have been here before, and that should not stop us from putting in more money if we have the chance.
To be a successful investor in the Crypto market, it is important to focus on the value of the investment rather than the price. This approach can help you become more informed about a particular project. By using the average cost value and focusing on the long term, you can enhance your investment plan without risking its destruction during both seasons.

I am one of the few who care less about market activities. Mainly because my major aim in the Web 3 space is to create content. What I do care about about the facilitates and communities built on Web 3. This is where the value truly lies.
As regards the bear/bull trap, I think this might just be the case. The excitement around the ETF is driving the FOMO. I do not think it is sustainable. Nonetheless, I am fine with whatever happens, a bull or bear run. It doesn't affect my long-term plans
It's always nice to see the green candles but I don't really pay attention to the price changes as much. I tend to have a set plan when I entered BTC and I think the market can be irrational. I don't think we can really know where prices will go though.
